Darth Revan Vs Master Yoda

i told ya he was good 💃 💃

So, Janus, I'm too lazy to look at former posts, do you think Yoda could take Revan?

I knew you had embraced the Lazy side of the Force (tm).

Yoda is quite the man, but against an ancient Sith lord? Nu uh. If he beat Sidious, I would think mebbe. And while Yoda was old and wise and could tear it up with Dooku, I just have more faith in an ancient Sith lord over a Dagobah critter any day.

hey stop that!
don't insult the green guy

But dude, Yoda's training, knowledge and experience dwarf Revan, don't they?
I think he's got in on lock.

Yoda's training and whatnot dwarfed both Sidious and Dooku. Look at the results.

these are my 2 fav jedis i sholdn't have voted

But as for Revan being good, apparently the light side ending was the true one. The chronicles were quite vague, and neccessarily so since they were basically a prelude to The Sith Lords. That being said, Revan did embrace the light once again. Even as a Sith, his actions were dark but made in earnest towards a greater good. It is said in order to become the Republic's hero he must first become it's greatest villain.

That's only what Kreia thinks. Not to mention she does say Maybe. That is only her opinion on why Revan turned to the Dark Side. And on the chronicles it does in fact say after the fight with Malak, Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Revan journeyed etc. Revan might have thought conquering the galaxy would benefit it but I dont think he did it for the galaxy. Wiping out the Jedi and the Republic probably isn't going to help it out much, especially when he prepares an army dedicated against it. So I still believe the Dark Side is the more official ending.

LucasFilm said the light side ending was the canonical one. Later on, when I have more time, I'll see if I can bring it up on the official site.

Yoda wasn't trying to kill Dooku, he merely wished to capture him. Dooku knew he was going to lose, so he escaped like a coward but putting Obi-Wan and Anakin at risk.

Sidious wins mainly because he has a personal army at his desposal.

Still, Yoda is cool. But he's no sith lord. Most everyone agrees on a few things... For example, the ancient Sith and Jedi were very powerful. Lightsaber duelling has taken a turn for the worst in the years since Darth Bane came about, since things like Form II became more of an oddity and less of a neccessity (Because the Sith were more or less hidden from view. No use for lightsaber to lightsaber combat techniques.) The dark side of the force is more offensive based.

No, he isn't, he's a JEDI MASTER that resided on the council for at least 700 years. I mean, you don't f*ck around with Yoda unless you have an army with you, (Sidious) or you're eager to defeat your former master (Dooku)

Jedi Master is a title given to any Jedi Knight who successfully trains a padawan past his or her trials and into knighthood. Qui Gon was a master. Mace was a master. So was Kit Fisto. It's not a testiment to skill with a lightsaber or even skill with a force. It's skill with teaching and training.

And besides, Yoda was a Jedi consular, one dedicated to learning and mentoring, not out and out combat. While he was amazingly skilled, he could not contend with a Sith Lord among Sith lords in the era of Revan, a mere forty years after Exar Kun.

Dooku couldn't defeat Revan and yet he could hold Yoda off. If Yoda's working up a sweat and using the Force to keep his arthritis from crippling him, he could not hang in a battle with Darth Revan. Not at all.

Revan probably...

Yoda may have been incredibly powerful, but lets be honest here. Revan actually fought a lot. He had a lot more actual combat experience then any jedi or Sith during Yoda his time, logic alone would dictate that he would win.

A strong but relativly unexperienced soldier can not win against one twenty times as experienced but a little weaker. I am not saying Yoda his techniques weren't excellent or that his mastery of the force wasn't great. But he simply did not fight as many opponents as Revan did, he didn't have as much training. He didn't have as much experience as Revan did.

It would probably be a close fight but in the end Revan would win purely becuase of experience.

I can see what you guys are saying, but you have to realize that experience with the force itself can usually defeat experience in combat. Point in case: Obi-Wan vs. Anakin

Revan has experience in the force too... You don't study hundreds of holocrons and god knows how many other things about ancient sith and jedi without learning something about the force.

You don't become the most powerful student in an Academy without a great understanding and mastery of the force and you don't scare the republic and the jedi by just being able to fight. Revan must have had a great mastery of the force. At least close to what Yoda had but probably equal or greater

I agree. I mean, Yoda's clearly outclassed here. Maybe not overly so, but still... outclassed.

way, IMHO, because 800+ years of knowledge and force training gives you something I don't think Revan has.
like i said though, my opinion

Yes, but Yoda learned knowledge of peace and how to stop conflicts. Revan learned the best from both sides, in a time of war. Revan was always preparing for war so he would be ready against Yoda.

Exactly knowing of techniques is nice, but when you only know the way of peace then a real fight would be harder for you then for somebody that grew up in war. Whose entire life was based on war. Pretty much everything Revan did was to strengthen himself and to fight a war. Besides apparantly the ancient sith lords are a lot more powerful then the more recent one's. And with Revan being about 4000 years older then Yoda he could have learned a much more and have become a lot more powerful. Not to mention that when Revan grew up it was pretty much the gold age of the Sith and the Jedi. He had a lot of powerful opponents to fight and was still seen as unbeatable. Yoda didn't exactly have something like that.
